Subject:RE: PDF Not Downloading for Some Users? From:"Gordon Graham" <gordon -at- gordonandgordon -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 1 Oct 2001 12:03:51 -0400
I've been experiencing the same bug using Adobe Reader 5.0 with Internet
Explorer 5.0.
When I try to open a PDF I get an error message from Explorer saying "The
plugin did not initialize properly." I have loaded and downloaded Acrobat 5
several times and it's always the same. There are some instructions in the
Adobe Knowledge Base about it, but they didn't fix it for me. I couldn't
find anything in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
I have to admit I have taken some minutes but not hours to troubleshoot
this. But I think it's deeper than people just not having Acrobat on their
systems.
